Chapter 1063 China Today...

The first month of the lunar year has just passed, and the red lanterns hanging on the streets have not been taken down, but the whole city of Nanjing has already entered the working track of the new year.

It has been half a month since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the New Year has run away.

In the early morning, the rising sun dispelled the darkness before dawn, and the surface temperature began to rise. The rumble of bicycle bells and horse-drawn carriages on the road was connected. It has been 20 to 30 years since the bicycle was invented. In recent years, with the rapid development of Chenhan technology, the original wooden bicycle has long been transformed into a mixed structure of iron and wood. Many key small parts have made breakthrough progress, from manual processing to mechanical processing, greatly reducing costs, and improving precision quality, which has brought great progress in the practicality and popularity of bicycles.

Now in many cities, every household has a bicycle. Although its price is generally more than 100 yuan, the emergence of bicycles has indeed changed people's travel.

In the five major first-tier cities in China, every time they go to and from get off work, the army of bicycles on the road is a landscape that shocks foreigners.

Now, a common collision incident occurred at the intersection of Qingfeng Road, not far from Chengjun Public School. A young and beautiful lady and a spirited young man quarreled in a very uncultured way over who caused the accident. Soon, a group of pedestrians gathered at the intersection to watch the excitement.

There was no way, curiosity killed the cat, and watching the excitement was the first priority. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that they were on their way to work or class.

"Hi, Honglin."

Zhang Honglin was pushing his bicycle on the side of the road and watching the two people in front of him quarreling happily. The words "ancestors" and "bitch" came out of his mouth lightly. To these citizens, this scene can be said to be a good show, especially the two people quarreling and cursing, the woman is beautiful and the man is handsome. Zhang Honglin was watching with relish, wondering whether the two people would soon start a fight, when someone called him from behind. He turned around and saw his classmate Li Yaozong running towards him with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy today?" Zhang Honglin remembered that the boy was still crying when he went home yesterday, because he ranked second in the class in the monthly exam, which was not up to the expectations of Li Yaozong's parents. The parents always wanted their children to get first place in the exam so that they could bring honor to their family in the future.

Li Yaozong and Zhang Honglin are both third-class students in Sungkyunkwan Public School. Although there is no first-class or second-class student in the school, and the classmates in the class can still play together, this is the distinction made by the students themselves, because no one can deny that there are classes between students.

They are all high school students, no longer little brats in elementary school. The children of those aristocratic and wealthy families are in a completely different class from those students with average family backgrounds who only have good academic performance.

For example, the college entrance examination in a year and a half. If Li Yaozong and Zhang Honglin fail to get into the university they applied for, they can only go to other schools to review and retake the exam, while those children of nobles and wealthy children can send their children to the gates of first-class universities by "donating" education funds.

"Are you still not leaving? Class will start soon. What's so good about these street fights?" Li Yaozong did not answer Zhang Honglin's question, but directly pulled Zhang Honglin forward while humming a song. Seeing Li Yaozong's happy look, Zhang Honglin was a little confused, wondering what was wrong with his good friend today.

"Didn't your father and mother scold you?" Li's parents were much stricter than Zhang Honglin's parents, who only required Zhang Honglin's grades not to be below the top ten in the class. The teaching quality of Chengjun Public School is unquestionable. As long as there is a score in the top 20 in a class, it is almost certain that you will be admitted to a university, even if there are only about 40 students in a class. This is the reputation that Chengjun Public School has built over the past few decades.

And as long as it is a university, Zhang Honglin's parents are satisfied.

Nowadays, there is an unwritten rule in Chenghan's higher education: universities are better than colleges, colleges are better than junior colleges, and junior colleges are better than vocational high schools. The vocational high schools here are not vocational high schools, but vocational higher technical/art schools.

Another point that needs to be made clear is that in this era, the college entrance examination is that students first fill in the school they want to take the exam, and then the school and the government's education department organize these students to be sent to the location of the higher education institution they applied for, or to the regional examination center in a certain area, and take the exam uniformly.

If the score is not on the line, it will be over. It is not like the later generations who have a second choice, and know to apply for the exam after being told. The capital city where Chengjun Public School is located is one of the cities with the most concentrated higher education institutions in Chen Han, which is a great advantage for high school students to enter university. This is also one of the reasons why the enrollment rate of Chengjun Public School is far higher than that of ordinary schools.

Zhang Honglin didn't know that Li Yaozong couldn't help but be happy today. Because when he returned home with trepidation yesterday, he was surprised to find that his grandparents were here. Hahaha, now everything is not a problem. He is the beloved grandson of his grandparents. As long as these two big backers are there, his father and mother can't touch him. And when he came to school today, he found two extra ten-yuan bills in his school uniform pocket. It goes without saying that this is pocket money given by his grandparents...

How could Li Yaozong not be happy when he had two good things happen to him?

"Pass the ball! Give me the ball!"

On the basketball court, Li Yaozong shouted at his teammates. He was in a good position. He had already entered the basket and no one was threatening him. His big hands were waving in front of him like spider claws.

As he wished, his teammates also saw that Li Yaozong was in a good position. They pushed the basketball with both hands and flew to Li Yaozong in a straight line. Li Yaozong caught the ball and turned around to shoot, but he found that Zhang Honglin appeared in front of him at some point. Zhang Honglin was a little shorter than him, but his jumping ability was much stronger than his. But the arrow was on the string, and Li Yaozong had to throw it out by inertia. Although there was someone blocking him in front of him, he still threw the ball hastily. The basketball that had just been shot was slapped away by Zhang Honglin before it passed over his head. Several people standing behind rushed to the place where the ball fell. After a group fight, the basketball was controlled by the opponent. Li Yaozong and his teammates had to run desperately to their own half of the court to prepare to block the opponent's layup.

"Bad shot! Li Yaozong, what kind of shot did you make!"

"You know that Lao Zhang can jump higher than you, but you still shoot?"

"Li Yaozong, you're a big undercover!"

As the teammates ran back, they angrily blamed Li Yaozong. No wonder they were so angry. Now they were trailing by 36 to 54 points. They could have narrowed the gap, but Li Yaozong made such a reckless shot. Now they have to consider how to prevent the opponent from widening the score.

The blue team's ball-controlling player rushed to the free throw line and saw that there was only one player from the red team [Li Yaozong's team] defending in front of him, and the defending player was two and a half steps away from him, so he jumped up without hesitation, raised the basketball high, and threw it out with a flick of his wrist. The red team player was retreating, and when he saw the opponent jump up, he leaned over to make a blocking gesture, but it was too late to jump up again. He could only watch the basketball draw an arc, bounce a few times on the basket, and finally go into the basket. 56 to 36, leading by 20 points.

Li Yaozong and his teammates were a little depressed. Seeing that this physical education class was about to end, they were still so far behind. It was really difficult to make up for it!

"Beep..."

"Gather all students, gather! Stop playing and line up at our class position on the playground! The school has an emergency notice!"

The red team was organizing an attack. The physical education teacher suddenly blew the whistle. Then they saw that their class teacher had come to the edge of the field at some point. With a red face, he shouted to the students who were playing games in the playground.

As a math teacher with more than 20 years of teaching experience who was transferred to the high school department of Sungkyunkwan Public School eight years ago, Zhou Xianwu has a deep affection for his students. But he knows that in front of the court, his personal power is minimal. And fortunately, the court is only going to carry out military training in middle schools, high schools and colleges across the country, not to really serve as soldiers.

To be honest, when the new schools and colleges of Chenhan were first established, all schools were managed in a military manner, and the speed and neatness of the students' formations were no worse than those of regular troops. But the times have changed. Chenhan has developed to today. Among the colleges and universities across the country, except for those military and police colleges, the military color of other civil colleges has long faded to the point where it is undetectable.

Some primary and secondary schools, on the other hand, have a ten-day military training before the start of each semester, and this tradition is still preserved by them. Especially some schools in poor mountainous areas.

The male and female students on the playground didn't know what happened, and turned their heads to look at the class teacher inexplicably. But obeying the teacher's orders is the first duty of students. Whether it is Sungkyunkwan Public School or other schools, the status of teachers is quite high. China in this era is not like Chinese parents in the 21st century. In the eyes of parents, it is natural for teachers to beat and scold students. "If the child is disobedient, he should be beaten and scolded." This is a sentence that teachers often hear from students' parents when visiting their homes.

So the students quickly lined up in order - in four neat rows according to height.

"Turn right, start running..."

At the same time, the classrooms of Sungkyunkwan School were in chaos. The teacher was suddenly called away after half a class. When he returned to the classroom near the end of the class, the first thing he said was to line up in the playground.

The students shouted excitedly, and the girls' screams were even more piercing and sharp. The whole Sungkyunkwan School seemed to have encountered an earthquake. The doors of the classrooms opened one by one, and the students swarmed out like ants.

The screams of the girls and the booing of the boys echoed over Sungkyunkwan School. Li Yaozong has been in the school for a year, and in his memory, such a chaotic scene has never happened.

Even the usual gathering on the playground to raise the national flag has never been like this.

Of course, he can also express his understanding, because he thinks something big must have happened in the school. This period of time without studying is a surprise like pie in the sky.
